Freighter Thalassa Desgagnes 239480.jpg

The Thalassa Desgagnes was a double-hulled tanker operated by Groupe Desgagné.[1] She was built in Norway in 1976.

On February 13, 2010, while moored in Montreal, Quebec, welding work sparked a small explosion, and fire.[1] The vessel's holds were empty at the time of the fire, which was quickly extinguished. One person was injured.

In January 6, 2014, ice accumulation caused her to run aground, on the St Lawrence River, between Montreal and Trois-Rivières.[2]

On July 3, 2015, Groupe Desgagné announced they would be replacing the Thalassa Desgagnes with a new vessel, powered by less polluting natural gas fired engines.[3]
